Yesterday I had just gotten off work, and right as I was pulling into the driveway, I got a text from an employee asking me if I wanted to work for them, meaning I would go back in a couple of hours. I needed more hours, since alot of my hours come from employees who let me work for them, so I said yes. Had I known what I was getting myself into, I probably would've stayed home.
There is Large and Medium (when someone asks for a small we try to sell a medium cup, don't ask why, this is just what we were trained to do) Then we have a small that is only sold in something we call a Cameo Combo, which is the small drink and small popcorn. Last is the kids cup which is only sold in kids packs.
The first or second customer I got started complaining that he only wanted a small, and I explained to him this is only in the Cameo Combo, so he gets a medium drink. Now we come to the part where customers don't read the coupons
He hands me a 50 cent off coupon, which is only good for 50 cents off a combo, (Cameo Combo not included). This is after I had made his drink, and I told him the coupon is only good for combos. So he hands me the drink and storms off.
When the next customer asked me how I was doing, I told them, "I'm fine, so long as you don't complain the way that guy did." Probably shouldn't have done that, but I don't like starting off a shift that way 5 minutes after I walk through the door. I then noticed the customer standing at a distance and looking at me, and I'm pretty sure he overheard what I said.
He also went to another cashier and told them he didn't want to deal with me
Hey, whatever, pal. Like I give a fuck. And its then that my coworker tells me that he had decided to get a Cameo Combo.
Later I had a customer ask for a courtesy cup for his bottle of water, the tiny little dixie cups that we have for the customers. I couldn't find any, and of course the customer feels the need to question me, asking me, "Are you sure you don't have any?"
When I tell him no and I'm sorry, he tells me just to go ahead and give him a big cup. When I tell him he'll have to pay full price for it, he says he doesn't care. Ok, this guy is a complete idiot. Money is very tight right now, and he wants to throw away his money like that? What is wrong with just drinking it out of the bottle?
Like I said before, I shoulda just stayed home, but at least it was a short 4 hour shift, and time went by pretty quick.
